Take Back the Mind

We have handed over control to a phantom, that insane inner voice we name the 'ego'. Listen not to those demanding monologues look not to their twisted reasoning. Do not fight with its recitations give them no credence. Such thoughts come from the invasive roots of fear, do not feed them with attention. Don't identify with its words, it will talk to us as if it were our own true thoughts yet they are not, they never ever were. Turn your mind away neglect and ignore the ego's attempts to persuade and coerce. Our real thoughts emerge from that space we create from silence, there the ego holds no sway, there its mad dialogues can be easily expunged with just a simple and knowing smile of pure awareness.
